Line 4:
The year is 1926...
 
...and the [[Roaring Twenties]] are in full swing, filled with excess and adventure. Wondrous new discoveries take place on a daily basis, be they of [[Lost World|lost civilizations]] or [[Weird Science|miraculous super-science]]. Anything seems possible... in Tales of the Extraordinary, anything is possible! Ancient mysticism, [[Real Robot|robotic automatons]], [[Anti -Hero|masked vigilantes]], or a [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Monkeys|chimp]] who thinks he's [[The Great Gatsby]]. Tales isn't the way things were. It's the way they should have been.
 
The various protagonists keep finding themselves in stranger and stranger situations, from fighting off an automaton, to rescuing a Texas dilettante from the French Mafia, to defeating jetpack-wearing soldiers operating from a zeppelin nation, and much, much more!
Line 20:
 
* [[The Alcatraz]]: The Unknown finds himself here. With the help of Mike, Randolph, Mad Myrtle Madigan, and a baseball team, he manages to escape.
* [[Anti -Hero]]: The Unknown is a violent vigilante, but so far, he's still on the side of good.
* [[Antiquated Linguistics]]: Dr. Von Kliegel tends to use a narrative form when talking.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Most of the cast, although Dickie takes top billing.
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Monkeys]]: Gatsby is a chimp.
* [[The Mafia|The French Mafia]]: Don't bother telling them that the Mafia is Italian (sorry, Sicilian).
* [[Instant Expert]]: Randolph Moon can quickly learn a skill by watching someone perform it, and then perform it competently.
